There was talk when John XXIII was exhumed recently that his body was sort of mummified after it was exhumed to preserve it.

John XXIII's body was found to be incorrupt, like the bodies of many other saints.

I overstated the case. The Church has only declared officially that the “Body of Blessed John XXIII is Remarkably Well Preserved.” The Church has not said that his body is incorrupt.
